Many people avoid doing yoga because they think they don’t have enough flexibility for it, but that’s the last thing to worry about because many yoga poses are modified to become accessible for beginners regardless of their age or ability.
#4 – Walking
Another easy way to stay active and reduce arthritis pain is walking! You can pick your own rhythm and time, as soon as you become comfortable walking your own pace, challenge yourself to walk faster, farther or uphill. But keep in mind that adding degrees of difficulty means also adding stress to your joints, so challenge yourself gradually.
Walking is also a great way to have your alone time and to clear your mind, just wear your headphones to listen to your favorite tunes. Or, you can ask a buddy to join you for a fun time!
#5 – Cycling
It is necessary for everyone to get their hearts pumping every week, including arthritis sufferers. Cycling is a high-intensity activity and an incredible cardiovascular exercise because it can help your body become very active without actually putting any pressure on your joints.
So when you go to your gym next time, dare to join the cycling class. Or, just grab your bike and go for a long spin around the neighborhood… it’s going to feel great!
If you suffer daily from arthritis pain, then it won’t harm to try these exercises. Your health, body, joints, and mind will be greatly grateful!
